Gaming Company Blizzard Entertainment won a copyright case against the developers of several popular game cheats and hacks.The court ordered the company based in Germany named Bossland to pay over $8.5 million in damages. 

To stop further damage, Bossland is blocked from marketing and selling its cheats in the United States.This applies to hacks including Honorbuddy, Demonbuddy, Stormbuddy, Hearthbuddy, and Watchover Tyrant, as well as any other software designed to exploit Blizzard games.

Bossland materially contributes to infringement by creating the Bossland Hacks, making the Bossland Hacks available to the public, instructing users how to install and operate the Bossland Hacks, and enabling users to use the software to create derivative works 

"Blizzard has established a showing of resulting damage or harm because Blizzard expends a substantial amount of money combating the use of the Bossland Hacks to ensure fair game play," the court writes. 

Additionally, players of the Blizzard Games lodge complaints against cheating players, which has caused users to grow dissatisfied with the Blizzard Games and cease playing. Accordingly, the in-game cheating also harms Blizzard’s goodwill and reputation.
